I'm sure the pies you made were delicious. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays also. I was telling Kristina I next year I would like to spend it with the people I love most...even if it isn't thanksgiving day! People like your family and Cara and Todd etc. I bet those oysters were delicious. Well happy thanksgiving I can't believe it is here and gone.

I'm surprised because I would have thought that at some time you would have seen it at a family holiday meal. It's a dish Grandma always made. You have to have a 'taste' for oysters, but I'm telling you, it is SO wonderful!! WE all love it! <br />It's very easy to make, but quite expensive. I used two containers of oysters ($16) for a good amount. It's just layers of crushed ritz crackers, then oysters, pepper, pieces of butter, and repeat, ending with a pint of heavy cream (I use 1/2 n 1/2 to cut the fat). Let set overnight, and add a bit more cream before baking for one hour. Oh, my, just a little bit of heaven on earth!!teresaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816397798351061375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726769065842116183.post-27365287175806278502010-11-26T17:33:03.600-05:002010-11-26T17:33:03.600-05:00Lydia, I'm so sorry to report that taking pict...Lydia, I'm so sorry to report that taking pictures of our Turkey day food somehow was overlooked. I thought of it on the way home and was really bummed!!<br /><br />Charity, this year it's all about the 'brined' turkey. I wouldn't say it's the same, no. It's soaked in a very salty water and it's supposed to make for a very moist bird. I have always used a baking bag and the turkey turns out soooo moist! I feel like once you find something that actually works, why try to improve on it? Well...at least when it comes to turkey. I love turkey so much, it's something I'm just not willing to experiment with. Ian bought one of those turkey fryers a few years ago when they were so popular. The turkey was 'OK' but somewhat dry and disappointing. <br />Have you ever tried the baking bag?teresaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816397798351061375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726769065842116183.post-28144520047613706492010-11-23T17:49:39.053-05:002010-11-23T17:49:39.053-05:00Mmmmmm scalloped oysters!

I've never heard of that.<br /><br />I watched Sunny (Cooking for Real) on the Food Network the other week...she was talking about brining the turkey before doing the dry rub and baking it. Ever tried that? Is it pretty much the same thing?Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834040611797418099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726769065842116183.post-19432552204734870882010-11-23T12:34:54.230-05:002010-11-23T12:34:54.230-05:00We celebrated Thanksgiving last month up here in C...We celebrated Thanksgiving last month up here in Canada. <br /><br />I would like to humbly request that you post pictures of whatever it is you decide to serve alongside your turkey. Your food photos always make me so hungry! :)The Preacher's Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05824852593038551566noreply@blogger.com
